Holiday Memories

Hello.........Thank you for stopping by :)
After a really busy week it was so nice to  spend some time in my craft space this afternoon. I created this layout for Kaiser November Challenge


The background paper is from 'Base Coat Collection'. I've punched out a few extra leaves down the side...and added some tiny red doilies for a little added dimension. Originally I was going to use the reverse side of the paper for the rosettes which is red glitter but changed my mind...I thought the variation in colour looked better. I have had the large Kaiser chip board doily for ages waiting for the perfect project. A few sprays of colour shine and sequins for that extra sparkle :) 

Its a sketch challenge

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend.....to all my American friends

Deck the Halls.

Yep......that is what I have been doing, lots of Christmas decorating!
I have tried to be crafty but nothing has been working so I thought I'd share my  Christmas trees instead. One thing I love collecting is pomander balls.....just because.................................they are so pretty!


 I had this idea today..........A Pomander Christmas tree
So Shabby and really pretty!


And a Traditional  Tree.......White and Red with lots of Hearts.


Lights on 
Hope to have something creative soon.....no time and no mojo!

How is your Christmas decorating going?
So nice of you to stop by........this week is not so busy, I hope to visit you soon.

Two Cards

Hello crafty friends, Happy Monday to You!

I have two cards to share with you........The first one  is my DT project for the new challenge at The Shabby Tea Room! The second is my entry for Paper Sweeties November challenge.

Oh Christmas Tree


I was inspired by the pretty prints on the wood palings.
Bugaboo digital stamps are sponsoring us........The image I am using is "Fairy Christmas"  I have used the png image with Pic monkey editing program  to place the fairy on the pretty wood panel background, then I printed it out and coloured it in. A little lace, die cut snow flake, doily and a cute star button.
"Do you see What I see?" is a stamp from Paper Sweeties "Friendship Warms the Heart" stamp set.


Have fun with the challenge.......can't wait to see what you create!
.................................

Next up is my entry for November Paper Sweeties Challenge.

The Shabby Tea Room

Oh My Gosh.....posting 3 days in a row, that's not like me!
I'm back to show you my DT project for The Shabby Tea Room.
The theme for this challenge is Thankful along with this photo for inspiration.


Love the sparkly Acorns......so I cut myself some from 'Create a Critter cricut cartridge. The leaves are stamped, gorgeous crinkle ribbon, gold thread, crochet doily and a fabric button completes the cluster. The sentiment stamp is from Paper Sweeties.


Sow Kindness, Harvest Friendship

Sketchy Boards

Happy November to You!
New month....New Challenge with "Sketchy Boards"

Love the pretty colours in this photo.

I've made 2 projects using the inspiration board.

First up is a card ........using the sketch and colours from the photo. To create the background  on water colour paper, I used Gelatos and a doily embossing folder! A little washi tape, a few doilies cut from water colour paper (  backgrounds that did not look so good) I cut and stamped the tag from CTMH Artfully sent cartridge. I think the butterfly is from the same cartridge? 


And a Layout.......just using the sketch!
I'm still scrapping Holiday photos.....its all about the scenery, I would loose to much if I cut the photo in a circle!



I hope you have some time to join us for the challenge......Be sure to check out the other DT projects HERE

Happy Creating
